GK (who can be found here and also here) and I got together a long time ago, and put together a little project (or as I like to call it, a little "sumthin' sumthin'"), which is finally ready for public consumption. I'll be posting a new page every friday, so stay tuned. For now, here's the cover and page one.

So, who's H. T. Parnell?

H. T. Parnell was the proprietor of Tarant's one and only emporium of wonders in Troika Games' Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. I selected it not as an example of the best game I know of, but as an excellently concieved, very poorly executed game, praised for its wide variety of choices, and surprisingly non-linear gameplay. The perfect example of a flawed and buggy game, saved by an intriguing system, and excellent writing.
